“Thank God It’s Christmas”
For years, I’ve had fans asking for me to record Queen’s one Christmas song, and can you blame them? If I was ever going to record a song with that title, what better year than in 2020, as it’s safe to say there hasn’t been a time in recent memory where it was more applicable than now.
The original recording from the early 80s is understandably synthesizer-heavy, as Queen was notoriously breaking out of their early “straight up rock band” sound at the time. This gave me lots of room to work in a more organic instrumental arrangement, which is what comes most naturally to me anyway. I really wanted to juice up the choir on this one to a gospel church vibe. I had a blast trying to make my voice sound different with all the different vocal layers, to create the illusion of an actual choir.

I love this video is is so cute. I was excited to talk to Marc and Crystal about it.

I never got to live or meet Lennon, Hendrix, Mercury or Jackson but I'm glad I got to live during Martel.

@Grady Braylen yea, have been using flixzone for years myself :D
Wahnsinn ein echter Star unter dem Weihnachtshimmel... tut gut .. danke Marc
Merry Christmas!
Freddie Martel!
The "a" he has is IDENTICAL to the Freddie's "a", you can hear it for example when he say 1:02 "stars", or also when he says "bright", OMG, that's beautiful 😍😍❤️❤️
True, true! The "stars" got me 😻😻😻
True!!!
YOU ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
Yes, that's beautiful.
Where's there an 'a' in 'bright'?
Marc I'm Italian so I speak English not very well. Please make a cover of good old fashioned lover boy or somebody to love, your voice is wonderful
Marc Martel is a real treasure. Not only does he spread the spirit and Joy of Christmas, but he keeps Freddie’s spirit alive. God bless this man. Merry Christmas and God bless you all fellow Marc/Queen fans.
So true for 2020.
Long live Queen and Marc Martel (the jewel of Canada)!

@@drishalballaney6590 I am so sorry, it is my mistake. His name is Marc.
So another similarity with Freddy... I mean Freddie 😅
The lyrics just feel so apt right now...if only for a brief socially distanced moment.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face
Thank God it‘s Christmas tree

Querido Marc, saludos desde Madrid, España.

You were born to sing. What insane talent you have. No other singer can be themselves yet fully embody the sound of a legend. You mentioned in an interview a while back (years perhaps) that you hadn't fully grown into your voice when people started telling you who you reminded them of. I think the more accurate statement is that you hadn't fully spread your Freddie wings! I love hearing you hit his rock notes and just like him, somehow keep them mild and soothing at the same time. I seriously feel like at this point even the boys in the band have to wonder what they could have done with you as front man. I know they defend the choice but you are who they chose when they needed Freddie. That is the biggest compliment in the world. "Wait, Fred isn't here to do his vocals..." ****Roger then rings the only man on Earth capable of filling those shoes.......sure didn't start with an A :) sorry, not sorry. Merry Christmas Marc. Thank you for bringing us joy. Xo
Oh god 🙄 Marc's voice is a miracle . Freddie's reincarnation ?
have to sing in Queen... now an dquick
Magnifico
Wonderful Marc! Merry Christmas to you and your bride! 😘😘😘
Of course, this could not disappear.
Thank you for doing this, it's scary but in a very good way 💙
That's amazing 😍
Amazing as always , love you Mark 🎄🙏🏼💕
Amen!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎄 🎁 🎉
Wonderful as always! You completely touch my heart. You are an auditive orgasm, Thank you my beautiful Marc.
